Managerial Finance vs. Corporate Finance

The table of contents from the linked reference could concievably be used to draw an outline of the subjects the topic covers. I had personally never heard of managerial finance as a separate topic from corporate finance. To me, any business large enough to pay to have that type of analysis done should be incorporated in some form of C or S-corp or at least an LLC, and therefore the analysis would fall under corporate finance and make the topic of managerial finance redundant. It appears enough others feel different that a textbook has been written. - Taxman 15:24, May 11, 2004 (UTC)

The term is not used very much any more. When I first studied the subject it was called managerial finance. I still have several managerial finance textbooks. Sometime in the 1980s corporate finance became the more popular term. I don't think we need to cover it in much detail. mydogategodshat 18:07, 11 May 2004 (UTC)

Managerial finance is called corporate finance when the organization is a corporation. But large non-profits also use managerial accounting techniques, have treasury functions, etc. Hence the need for the broader name. Egfrank 21:25, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Pyat rublei 1997.jpg

Image:Pyat rublei 1997.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

HTML comment eliding material

The following was all commented out with an inline HTML comment.

<!-- ==Approach== The difference between a managerial and a technical approach to finance can be found in the questions one may ask of a company’s [[Annual Report]]. Annual reports contain vital corporate information such as Income Statements, Balance Sheets, Statement of Cash Flows, and Statement of Stockholders Equity, which all aid in Managerial Financial analyses. The technical approach is primarily based on measurements. The technical approach is meant to ask a manager "is the accounting correct, in that money is assigned to the right categories in an organized manner, and were [[Accounting Standard|accounting principles]] followed?" The technical approach can also assist with developing technological plans to improve the financial reporting process. These approaches can include: * Analytical Skills * Spreadsheet Proficiency * Interpersonal Communication. The purpose of a managerial approach is to be able to interpret what the figures and numbers actually mean. Managerial decisions can be categorized into three interrelated business processes: Planning, Directing, and Controlling. * Someone using such an approach might compare the returns to other businesses in their industry and ask the following questions regarding this approach: are we performing better or worse than our competition? If we are performing worse, what is the source of the problem? Do we have the same profit margins? If not, why? Do we have the same expenses? Are we paying more for something than our competition? * Managers may look at changes in asset balances (Asset balances refer to the balances in the asset accounts which will be summarized and reported on the company’s balance sheet), or red flags that may indicate problems with bill collection or bad debt expenses. * Managers can analyze [[working capital]] to anticipate any potential cash flow problems that could arise in the future. This is an important concept to comprehend because it allows managers to measure a company’s ability to pay off its short term debts or expenses it anticipates to accumulate. -->
